Where, OH, Where........

Vandalia yard to Youngstown OH, then a load from somewhere around there to home for the weekend in WV.

 

Columbus, MS. Headed in the morning to drop rejected trl at a shop in tupelo. Don't know what's going on from there. Dont know if someone else is getting paper load or me or where I'm getting another trl? Oh well. Ill be getting paid the miles to run in circles so what ever.

 

If you have never been to the Nofolk area b4 be aware that its a $2000 fine for attempting to pass through the westbound side of the I64 tunnel. The will usually just turn you around but you never know so It's probably in your best interest to just tske the I264 bypass on your way back out.

 

Good ole Georgia Pacific,lucky you,I hate that place,they use to be not so bad,I think laser spot must get a kick back from them for rejecting a certain amount of trailers,I've seen them reject them for things that were deemed acceptable on their checklist

 

Actually it was werehauser. But yea some paper mills suck. But this trail did have leaks after all. Its been sealed and was getting washed out when I left. Found some leaks at the floor and wall joint while getting washed out. They put me on another load but just told me to stop as they may put me back on paper load. Gps showed me in Memphis for some reason but I'm in tupelo. Lol go figure.

 

I have been thru there a bunch of times coming from the house. Never had a problem

 

The one and only time I attempted to go through the westbound side I got stopped and was directed to turn around. They also handed me an informational paper that stated that any further attempts to pass through the westbound side would result in a $2000 fine. Trucks are not suppose to take the westbound side because the clearance is literally 13' 6" with no room to play. If your trailer leveling valve is just slightly out of adjustment it might just elevate the trailer that fraction of an inch and cause a disaster to strike. I got my warning so I just stay out of there and take the I264 bypass on the way back out.

 

I have to laugh. I was bobtailed to west memphis to pick up a load off the yard going to mt vernon tx. Well, trailer had lights out and no papetwork with it. Check it in service to get lights fixed and get told I ain't leaving for awhile. Trailer is due for T1. Uggggg.... called driver 30 minutes ago asking for paperwork and he's asleep in bunk room and still has not brought it to me.

I love my job

 

and of course he hadn't reported the lights being out either im assuming?
